Chimneys, skylights, vents, and pipe boots
Flashing that’s loose, rusted, or improperly sealed
3. Roof Valleys and Drainage
Clogged or soft valleys
Signs of ponding water or debris buildup
4. Gutter and Fascia Health
Loose gutters
Rotting fascia or soffits
Water stains on siding
5. Attic Ventilation & Insulation
Moisture or mold on decking
Signs of overheating or poor airflow
Light coming through roof boards
